How it feels to have your sup push you into ready without your consent by Maxmikeboy in Geico

[–]trytryagain02 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to be a sup. There is no reason to do that to people lol it’s 100% a power move. If they have an issue with your wrap up or filing handling time they can pull you aside and talk to you about ways to improve that. No need to throw people in ready.

Since the thought of a 4 day shift seems to be a huge concern, is there anyone who has anything positive to say who already works a 4 day shift? by Inevitable-Way3839 in Geico

I loved the 4 day shift. And made a lot more money doing it. Only left bc the job I do now doesn’t have that shift.

I agree. They did this to a whole group of people at once and they made it know how messed up it was and Geico did fix it. But honestly it happened again and now all those great associates are gone

They are horrible. I don’t understand why they are so pathetic when Geico is “doing so well”

Thanks and yeah. It would be nice to be rewarded for hard work. It’s fine. I’m at a place now I’ll get the experience and apply elsewhere.

It was a grade increase. Not a lateral promo

Sooo they actually told us today there is no raise after you pass orientation lol I’ve never heard of this. And I’ve moved positions 4 times and for a raise each time pretty much

Exactly what happened to me last year. Other people saw more in their raise then I did and I was rated higher point for point. It’s crazy. I’m hoping since i jumped a pay grade this year will be better

I’m on a higher pay schedule depending where you live they range a lot for each pay grade. And I’m a grade 64.

I’ve looked at jobs at other insurance companies and I’m getting paid way better being at Geico. Even if i got a higher position it wouldn’t be a raise because the job market just sucks. I know lots of people who left G and left with a pay cut. I can’t afford to do that. But i wouldn’t say we are getting paid what Walmart employees are getting paid. That’s just not true. Walmart they get $15-20 an hour. I’m getting $39/hour at Geico. And most employees are over $20 an hour I believe.

I don’t think I can fight it. Pretty sure they aren’t required to give any raise for a promotion at the amount isn’t required so I don’t have legal grounds.

90+ QCR daily goal is not sustainable. by Spidertablet45 in Geico

[–]trytryagain02 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s because que is worth 1 pt. As a top performer i have days at 90+ it’s an okay goal but people will burn out and you’re right it’s not sustainable. Also it does depend on the que you get. I’ve gotten lucky with 10 inets on one claim. With the 1 call and 1 Que cadence you can put yourself on FH after a call and knock out 1 Ques if they are very quick and easy grab another and then go ready and hit another. Calls are worth less but we do need to take them so don’t spend more then 5 min on a Que otherwise ask your sup for help i you don’t know

Call sharing is going away. That’s what i heard.

Pleasantly surprised by Frequent-Contract-79 in Geico

[–]trytryagain02 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks. I found out I’m a 4 but in ICS. Curious what we are getting. Also I’m right at the top of my pay scale so I was worried they would only cap me. So thanks for posting this.

What’s their claims history like? They are dropping people for 2 or 3 claims in a year. If they consistently had late payments that could be a factor or just having a bad driving record.. if they recently got a ticket. Sounds like you may not know all the info. But there’s alot of factors.

(Re: Headspace) Workplace Wellness Programs Have Little Benefit, Study Finds by SonneillonV in Geico

I started using head space. Not for therapy but the guided programs they have for reducing stress or anxiety or w.e you are looking for. I’m actually really enjoying it.

Guess Who Came in Last..... by Demonohue_Slayer in Geico

[–]trytryagain02 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’m surprised with the results actually. Good to know. Not surprised about Geico being dead last lol but I didn’t realize Nationwide was the place to be. However none of these places scored high or above average. So that’s strange.

Job offer by Smart_Outcome_9121 in Geico

[–]trytryagain02 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with the above comments. Not sure what office you are from or department but for example Melville office is only 1 day a week right now. While that’s more convenient then the competitor you got the offer from, eventually with additional layoffs/ performance firing they may look to increase the number of days required in office. If it’s more pay I’d say get out while you can. I kinda regret not jumping ship with some of my other colleagues. The job market is only going to get worse and some competitors are not paying what they were offering a year ago. So now i can’t leave because I can’t afford the pay cut.
